KRITI CAPTAIN

* We have received reports that combined chemical and oil tanker KRITI CAPTAIN (IMO:9335147), experienced a fire in its engine room whilst moored at Port-la-Nouvelle, France, on 25 January 2025.

* It is reported the fire was successfully extinguished by local firefighters.

* The vessel is currently reported to be at anchor off Port-la-Nouvelle, with tugs in attendance. We understand that that the vessel is unable to continue its voyage under its own power and may be taken under tow by tug to Marseille, France for inspection and, possibly, repairs.

* It is therefore possible that General Average issues may arise as a result of this incident.

* We therefore recommend that you contact us if you are concerned with any cargo on board this vessel so that we can immediately start taking steps to protect your interests.
